Elba as DCI John Luther is what makes this click. He's awesome as a highly intelligent dynamic loose cannon who is on the verge of being what Dexter Morgan is to the Miami Metro. With a little help from a former suspect; Alice Morgan (hehe) who slipped in and out of an unresolvable murder case, he unwillingly gets out of very sticky situations.
The suspects are not your usual petty crime thieves and crooks but rather intelligent, self absorbed and twisted minds who think that they are going to get away with the awful crimes that they are committing. The stories are told at a fast pace and Luther always has a lot on his plate apart from his broken marriage that he's trying to repair.
Big up to the writers who allowed for this series to be so detailed and dynamic. And also to the cast who together shine and do great performances. I am entertained! Thank you!
